1 And the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah a second time while he was still held back in the courtyard of the guard, saying,
2 “Thus says Yahweh who made the earth, Yahweh who formed it to establish it, Yahweh is his name:
3 ‘Call to me, and I will answer you, and I will tell you great things and inaccessible things that you have not known.’
4 For thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, that were torn down to make a defense against the siege ramps and against the sword:
5 ‘They are coming to fight against the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the corpses of the people whom I will strike in my anger and in my wrath, for whom I have hidden my face from this city because of all their wickedness.
